Internal Landscapes

It’s been a while since I had the chance to post so many (well, two at the moment) personal artworks. In fact, I had not published anything 100% personal since 2011’s “Conversations” until I released “Patience” a month ago.

The thing is that I’ve got around 10 new personal illustrations gathering dust on my hard drives, but lately I’m having a hard time to gather some space to post on the net. My commissions schedule is getting me on fire, so I am going to try to post one of those new artworks every two weeks. Let’s cross fingers 🙂

They asked me to create an human defending nature sort of thing. While I was sketching and doing photo try outs for their artwork, I “accidentally” started this one, as a product of a cross-inspiration from myself. Never showed to them as the concept was a bit far away form what they were asking for. I saved the image to finish it in the future and it took more than a month to reach to that point. There was plenty of empty space or “air” in the image, that was making me feel unsure about its composition, but for once I decided that it was time to explore that kind of ambiance, for once and all.

Second, this image follows my desire of keep on exploring nature, and also, our relationship with it, as a part of it, but also as an independent being from it because of our real working nature: being civilized individuals.

I was not really expecting to talk this much about this project :). I hope you enjoy it, it remains as one of my personal favorites… at least at the moment! Fine art prints are on sale now on deviantArt, RedBubble and Fine Art America, and it’s also included on my 2014 Calendar.
